It's a side effect of the modern computing culture.  The number of users 
complaining about instability, security holes and API stability is a 
direct measure of the size of the userbase.  There aren't any 
multi-million dollar businesses doing nothing but selling third-party 
utility development and technical support for FreeBSD, so it must 
obviously be dead, dying or not in use. :)
